Index Historical Records
FamilySearch volunteers read scanned historical documents and type key details so families everywhere can discover their ancestors for free. You work at your own pace on records like census pages and church registers, with training built in. Every batch you index helps someone connect with their family story.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
